Five former housekeepers at a Manhattan hotel filed a sexual harassment complaint yesterday, accusing their boss of trying to caress and fondle them, denying them bathroom breaks, and forcing them to clean his home for free.

They also charged that a man named David Ramirez – whom they identified as the housekeeping supervisor at the Broadway Plaza Hotel in the Flatiron District – threatened to kill them if they told anyone about his advances.

The housekeepers, who worked at the hotel for periods ranging from one week to several years, filed their complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Scott Walker, the hotel’s general manager, said no one named Ramirez works there.

He insisted none of the women had ever complained to him in his 15 months on the job.
